If FM did actually say that he wasn’t overly concerned about the price of Vanadium then that would surely be said in the context of BMN being naturally hedged and him becoming more interested in the price that he can sell electrolyte in preference to vanadium.

It’s moved down on sales of less than 14k.

Sorry, now it’s just gone down more.

The SP is being deliberately held back somehow. The trades are wall to wall blue and yet the SP hasn’t moved all afternoon, explain.

Got it, I shall look out for that happening, thanks.

How long after a UT has taken place should the SP remain at that price?

Just wondered why it isn’t corrected by the next trade.

EP, I read what you had to say about covering both sides of the battery argument but wondered if you have considered nickel as well as lithium? Just curious on a quiet day.

Came on the BBC local tea-time news for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Woman in her 30s given first dose in Hull Royal Infirmary. Prof of medicine interviewed who gave it a great thumbs up. Talked about the very promising P2 results and said that he thought this was going to be a game changer.

It’s discovered that in addition to holding shares in UK companies and BMN, I have shares in HZM. So that’s all my bases covered now, the UK, SA and now Brazil!

My top up is showing as a sell. No surprise.

I am not about to cross-ramp by naming the company but I have held onto one particular share since 2018 waiting for it to come good. It’s fundamentals tell us that it should do well. But it has taken a lot of patience and conviction to hang on to those shares through all the bad times. I have watched the SP drop and drop over the past two years and my investments halve in value, but at no time did I consider letting the mms have my shares at the prices being offered.

Over the past month or so the share price has more than doubled from its COVID inspired dip and I am happy to say that my investment is almost out of the red and resurfacing. The future prospects still look good and more patience is needed before profit is realised but I have every confidence in what I am doing because the fundamentals of this company are what matters and not the current share price.

I am not into SNG as deeply as this other share and although confident that SNG will do well, I haven’t the same utter belief. What I do know is that the long view, however long that may be or however long it takes is what matters. Don’t be distracted by what the market does to your investment. If you believe in it hold tight, but also know when to sell. Don’t be too greedy, learn the difference between a spike and a genuine rise. The former will be driven by sentiment, the latter by fundamentals and external factors. Good luck all.

Did anyone take part in this?

Just read an article in the Observer 3.1.21 in which Prof Herrington comments on the damage that mining for so called green energy is doing to the planet. There was a lot of stuff in the article that we already know about cobalt and lithium and copper etc but there was no mention of Vanadium whatsoever.

That led me to look this guy up and when I noticed the recent zoom conference held at the NHM in December.

It is easy to find experts who will claim that we could easily afford enough renewables such as wind and tidal power to provide all the electricity we need. I can’t imagine it taking longer to instal the necessary storage than to build nuclear reactors. Then there is the cost of decommissioning and cleaning up to consider.

@Mulletman, I have been catching up on the Sizewell local politics this afternoon and would agree with what you say. My initial anger was fuelled by hearing Alok Sharma this morning giving his pathetic excuses why renewables weren’t the answer to our energy sufficiency, and his apparent total ignorance of energy storage. On checking out the Sizewell story it seems that the locals are split on the matter and that the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament would be our only hope for the complete halt to more nuclear reactors.

I’m not concerned about the size of the slice of action that VRFBs get. I am concerned about the proliferation of nuclear reactors, the lifetime costs of these things and who is going to pay for it, either directly through our electricity bills or indirectly through tax.

Sorry, this appears to be the more active petition against Sizewell C

I have found a petition against the Sizewell C proposal here, please sign up.

I heard the Business Secretary on the BBC radio 4 this morning talking about negotiations beginning with EDF about another nuclear reactor in Suffolk. This news rather dismayed me on its own, but when asked about other, cheaper forms of energy he came out with the old chestnut saying that “the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t shine all day” rubbish. This is from someone who is supposed to know what he is talking about ffs.

I need to find out if there is a protest group down in Suffolk and add my voice. It’s not so much the lost opportunity for VRFBs but I don’t want to be paying for nuclear energy especially the French variety. I wonder how much this is intended to persuade the French govt to go easy on Brexit.

I have the figures back to May 2020 and that larger amount goes that far back. So if there is a typo it’s the smaller number that is wrong. Either that or 1.5mill has gone.

Bushveld Directors and related have lost 1.5 million shares since September. I didn’t keep October figures to compare.
